\n2003: Public Interaction and Private Tensions<\/p>\n
Diddy presented 50 with a Best Rap Video award for \u201cIn Da Club\u201d at the VMAs in 2003, and the vibe was warm and friendly. <\/p>\n
But tensions surfaced two years later, as 50 attempted to sign Mase<\/a> to his G-Unit, who reportedly wanted out of his Bad Boy deal. Negotiations soon fell apart, and 50 later called Diddy \u201cunreasonable\u201d and a \u201csucker\u201d for allegedly blocking the deal.<\/p>\n \u201c[Mase] created some material that I was excited about, and when we came back to try to make the deal, me and Puff \u2026 [Diddy] was being unreasonable. I think he felt like Mase was the last piece to his legacy,\u201d he said on The Howard Stern Show.<\/a><\/p>\n 2006: 50 Cent Drops The \u201cBomb\u201d\/\u201dHip Hop\u201d<\/p>\n 50 Cent released \u201cThe Bomb\u201d (also known as \u201cHip Hop\u201d)<\/a>, a diss track that implied Diddy knew details about The Notorious B.I.G.<\/a>\u2018s 1997 murder. <\/p>\n \u201cWho shot Biggie Smalls?

The song is considered the unofficial moment their feud formally took off.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n 2007: An uneasy collaboration on \u201cI Get Money\u201d<\/p>\n Despite the publicized diss track, 50 Cent and Diddy came together with Jay-Z<\/a> for a remix of \u201cI Get Money.\u201d<\/p>\n Diddy later said that they put their differences aside to make music.<\/p>\n \u201cThe beauty about it, at the end of the day we all love to make music.
